Hostess asked the employees to take a 8% pay cut to keep them in business so that 18,500 could have jobs. Some of the unions, especially here in California, objected, and prefered to strike and yell and scream.

In the end, they all are out of a job. They are hoping that another bakery with better benefits will come over and take them under their wings. It may works for a few bakeries here in California, but the vast majority of Hostess bakeries and their employees will shut down and lose their jobs.

No, this is doing very well out here in Los Angeles. Various bakeries make their own, including Ralphs Supermarket, which are surprisingly good. And now they have various flavors at specialized bakeries out here, aka Velvet Red Cupcakes, or Cake Batter Cupcakes, and many more, which are great. I just prefer a Boston Cream filled cupcake!

Someone will buy the Twinkie and Ding Dong name, and keep selling them. Unfortunately, most likely, they will be a bakery with more machine filled technology and less people. Sad that 18,000 had to lose their jobs before the holidays over the stubbornness of a few hundred.

I grabbed a Dong Dong in your honor today from the local Hostess store, check out lady was concerned about her job....she wondered were she would go at her age that was going to pay her $26 to check out Ding Dongs.
